Moroccan police yesterday arrested 118 migrants from sub-Saharan Africa who were heading to a Spanish enclave in the country, local officials said. The migrants were apprehended in the Gourougou forest in Morocco’s northeastern Nador region as they attempted to enter the Melilla enclave, either by sea or by scaling the perimeter wall. They will be expelled to Algeria, the last country they transited before reaching Morocco, according to Morocco’s illegal immigration unit. Madrid in May reaffirmed Spanish sovereignty over Melilla and Ceuta, another tiny enclave on the north African coast, after the Moroccan government called for a dialogue on the matter.
